  5. It’s the incentives, stupid… • NEPs in Thatcher’s UK (Clinton didn’t do it!) • Methadone in China (vs Russia’s democratic paralysis) • 100 pct condom under Thai military rule (vs populist Taksin’s assault on IDU) • Prison programmes in Iran (ahead of the UK on that one)

  6. What Policy Makers want • Broader visibility …. enhances influence amongst policy makers • The primary constraint policymakers face is lack of time. • Policymakers pay as much attention to newspapers as togovernment reports.

  7. News coverage = $$$

  8. “Social” Media • Gr8 talking to @mrssmith at launch of #vaccinesforall last night, #GIZAccra proud to be involved @healthyDEvs

  9. You need to make a case • For investing in health and social protection • For investing development dollars in health/SP • For investing taxpayer dollars in other taxpayers’ health and protection • For investing in programmes which make the biggest difference to health and well-being (which may not be “health sector”)

  10. AND you have to make a case or investing in GIZ as a provider of health services • (Besides a monopoly on bilateral aid from BMZ), What do GIZ health professionals have to offer that others don’t? • How can those services be adapted to the needs of different clients? • How might you minimise the obstacles to hiring GIZ health staff? • Could you spread health expertise through other programmes?
